It takes I milliseconds to type the emails I do If I type a formal formal one... I spend ages thinking "ooo err... does this sound alright... maybe I should use another word... what word should I use... hmmm humm humm"!!

People always remember my emails too which for me... is a good thing as us designers can get lost amidst the rest!

Can't say I've thought about it much.

I normally end e-mails where I'm asking for something 'Many Thanks', or 'Thanks in Advance' otherwise I stick with 'Regards'.

'Warmest Regards', 'Kindest Regards' or even worse 'KRs' I avoid like the plague.

Due to the nature of my work only about 10% of the e-mail I send/receive is from people I haven't met before, and that normally removes a lot of the need for formality.
